- Don't use LaunchBreak, spend the money and get KeyServer. Keyserver
- will allow you to essentially copy protect Applications by making them
- unlaunchable off the network. In addition, if people want to copy them
- down to a hard disk, they can, and the licenses are maintained.
- I can't remember how much it is at this point. They sell KeyServer
- Light (32 licenses), or KeyServer 3.0 with pricing based on how many
- licenses it maintains.
